Markdown displayed as text

Paste this text into Obsidian and notice that it becomes formatted as text rather than displayed as pretty markdown halfway through (Desktop Linuxmint LMDE 13, Flatpak Obsidian 1.1.2.7):

Outliner.md (3.1 KB)

The editor (source mode and live preview) thinks you are opening an HTML tag that’s not closed. You’ll notice no markdown rendering is happening after < target book >. You can

  • mark it as inline code

    `<target book>`

  • escape the opening < with a \

    \<target book>

  • close the “tag”

    <target book></target book>


You’ll need to fix others farther down in the note at well.
